McDavid Man Charged With Battery By Strangulation
July 2, 2012
A McDavid man is facing a felony charge for allegedly trying to strangle his girlfriend outside a Pensacola Walgreens.
Marcus Dion Berthiaume, age 44 of Cox Road, was charged with felony battery by strangulation. He was released from the Escambia County jail on a $15,000 bond.
The victim and another male were allegedly stopped at a Davis Highway traffic light when Berthiaume got out of his vehicle and threatened them. He continued to follow them and tried to run them off the road until they stopped at a Walgreen’s on Olive Road, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
The victim told deputies that Berthiaume then choked her and slammed her head into the center console of a vehicle. A Walgreen’s customer provided deputies a smartphone video of Berthiaume diving into a vehicle and another witness pulling him out by the waist band of his pants.
The victim told deputies that she was currently dating Berthiaume and the pair had lived together for about two weeks.

REGARDING:
“Self defense and domestic violence are two entirely seperate things.”
You are right using the definition:
“Domestic violence and emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control the other. Partners may be married or not married; heterosexual, gay, or lesbian; living together, separated or dating.”
I was simply thinking of violence within a domicile by a member of that domicile.

Self defense and domestic violence are two entirely seperate things.
REGARDING:
“There is NO EXCUSE to commit Domestic Violence
under ANY circumstances !!!”
Sure there is.
If someone in your home were about to hurt someone else in your home and the only way to stop that harm was to respond violently, that would be an excuse.
It doesn’t apply here, but self defense IS an excusable instance.
David for safe children
and unstrangled women
There’s your flag! Get out NOW!
girl, all i can say, is get the heck out of dodge…NOW!
There is NO EXCUSE to commit Domestic Violence
under ANY circumstances !!!
Berthiahume, I wish I were his CO. I would get his mind right.
knew he looked familiar…work at the prison in century and looked him up….he got out of prison in dec 2010. looks like he will be going back for the third time. they never learn.
No excuses for hurting women. That is why we carry guns!
She was dating and living with the man that chased her and ANOTHER guy down…….well, why did he do that?
I hope she wasn’t waiting for him when he got home…….
